This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

As a food delivery and restaurant service operating in the United States, we comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines regarding consumer data protection and transparency.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function efficiently, improve the user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Giordanos) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit giordanosdelivery.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to our server or the server of the relevant third party. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and deliver a personalized experience.

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

• Local Storage: This technology allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with potentially greater storage capacity.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's settings and characteristics to create a unique identifier for your device.
• Scripts: Small pieces of code that allow websites to function interactively and collect data about your browsing activity.
